What kind of cage setup do you have?
No need to clean out anything, so much extra work.

Just take out the snake, and the water dish. Spray the substrate. Wait for it to dry, use a fan if it helps speed up the process. Put the snake and the water bowl back. Wait for mites to die! DIE MITES..DIE! moo ha ha *evil laugh*
